SURVIVORS
308 Chapter. Funeral Day
Today is the funeral of their friends. Dean cleared a little land for it. There are four holes side by side.
They stood around as the four bodies were lowered into the hole. The Ruler's body was flanked by the bodies of General So and Adviser Ma. Michael's body was next to that of Counselor Ma.
Each hole is covered, marked with a large piece of stone with carvings of each name. Then they framed each tomb with an arrangement of stones. Then sprinkle wildflowers on it.
"Ruler, you have finally arrived in our country. We buried you here. Under Leon's care. One soul of our nation is left, keeping you forever," Inner Doctor Chandra.
"Don't grieve. You can come see me anytime, right?" entertain Leon.
"How about we go to the beach and play with the water? See what we can do there. There might be something interesting too." Sunil gave me an idea.
"Aseeekkkk .. swimming ... swimming." Niken glee.
"Come ... we haven't been swimming for a long time" Alan said enthusiastically.
"You guys go first. I want to move the forbidden forest apple seedlings first," declined Widuri.
"Where do you want to plant it?" ask Marianne.
"It looks like it's suitable to be planted next to the tomb. Let shade. What do you think?" Widuri looked at her friends.
"That's so good!" Doctor Chandra lifted his thumb.
"OKAY. Dean, help me make a hole" call Widuri.
"Ready, Mistress," the god is naughty.
The others laughed a little.
"Okay, we go to the beach first. You guys catch up fast."
The team members went down the hill together.
"Dean, like last night's talk. Can't we just fly? Waiting for the middleman's ship was too uncertain. To be honest, I can't wait to see mom and dad" said Widuri.
"What if people see it?" ask Dean patiently.
"We can fly at night. No one will see" said Widuri.
Dean was silent for a moment.
"Let's discuss it with the others. If they agree, we'll just do it like that" Dean said gently.
Widuri threw a sweet smile at Dean. "You're the best."
"Let's get this over with. What else do you want to plant?" ask Dean.
"This is lemon and blueberry seed. I think it's better to plant it there and there!" show Widuri.
"Ready!"
Both were busy with planting and watering. Dean draws seawater to water the whole place that is still dry and dusty.
"Already ... already. You've wet the whole place up to that garden. It was like local rain. Once again you pull the sea water here, then the whole yard will be muddled!" namel Widuri's.
"Why are you always so adorable? Even when you're nagging, it looks funny" Dean teased.
The two looked at each other with affection. Dean hugged Widuri's waist.
"Let's take the others to the beach. Or I'll eat you, '" god.
"May," replied Widuri with a smile.
Dean was silent and a little hesitant. He doesn't want to guess.
"Can hemm?" tanyanya.
"You .. can eat me." Widuri's face flushed like a boiled crab. Take a look in the other direction.
Dean couldn't have missed that signal. He immediately carried the body of Widuri and flew into the house.
"According to your orders, Madam," he said in a trembling voice.

On the beach, the group is cool swimming and playing water. Cloudy and Jane's horse love to run around and jump around on the beach. Water splashed everywhere.
"Cloudy! you wet me!" said Alan.
"Did you miss playing on the saltwater beach? You want to play with me?"
Alan and Cloudy were rolling on the beach. Alan's hair and Cloudy's feathers were wet and filled with sand. But Alan doesn't care. He's very happy.
Not far from there, Sulaiman chuckled at those new men. He sat hoeing on the edge of the old pier, with a fishing rod. A beautiful and bright day. He wanted to go fishing, rather than play water like a kid.
"It would be nice if they wanted to stay here, like Leon. More crowded, more alive," he thought.

"Alan, can you catch some fish for lunch?" ask Marianne.
"okay!"
Alan pulled some grass on the beach. Swim further to the middle. He could not have flown under the sight of Sulaiman. Sometimes he dives and pulls a pretty big fish. The fish were tied up with ropes from the grass. Then he went back to the beach.
"Is this enough?" tanyakanya.
"less! Good one. Because there's no rice here" Marianne said.
"good. I'll get it again" replied Alan.
Sunil and Robert helped make a furnace to burn fish. Then gather the firewood. Both of them went further along the coastline. There were quite a number of tree trunks and twigs that the waves brought to the beach.they had collected a lot of firewood. I think it's only gonna be out in a week. Sunil keeps the wood in storage.
"Hahahaha .. I found it!" robert was happy.
"What did you find?" Sunil's approaching.
"Look!"
Robert showed me one large shell.
"What is it-"
"It's a pearl oyster" Robert cut.
"Leon could raise more money if he kept the pearl oysters. It's expensive."
Sunil nodded in agreement.
"We call him here or what?" ask Sunil.
"Call it," said Robert.
"Leon, try you here. There's something we found here, "call Sunil with a voice transmission.
"okay!" answer Leon. He soon caught up with Robert and Sunil.
Seeing what Robert and Sunil showed, he was overjoyed. The future will be brighter now. Buying a new boat is no longer a dream.
"I think it's better to move it to a beach close to my house. Later must be made a special enlargement pool so that the sea water changes naturally, but does not make it float when the tide rises." Leon quickly analyzed it.
"You analyzed it very quickly" said Sunil.
"Where are you guys? Marianne waited for firewood like this for so long!" there was a rebuke from Dr Chandra through a voice transmission.
"Ah, okay. I'll be there right away" Sunil replied.
"You take the others. Collect the. We will divide flat. The small ones are for you to keep," said Sunil. Leon and Robert nodded.
"I'll go back first. Marianne needs firewood." Sunil stood up and sped away.
"Let's collect."
Leon and Robert gathered all the pearl oysters they found. Everything is stored in storage. The two then returned while picking up more wood they found.
"You can go down the beach again to look for pearls and move them to your pond" Robert said.
"Thank you Robert. If you don't find him, I don't know either. Next time I'll go down the entire beach on this island," said Leon.
"Yes..You can do it. The inhabitants of this island are just you and Sulaiman. Help him, so as not to be deceived by middlemen.
"All right." Leon nodded.

The women were busy burning the fish, when Robert and Leon returned while carrying other firewood.
The hotter air forced everyone to go up and shelter under the protection of coconut trees on the beach. They enjoy grilled fish while throwing away the view to the high seas.
On the horizon, the blue sky and sea converge. The wind that is always blowing, managed to relieve a little sunburn felt by the skin
"My skin is getting brown" grumbled Niken.
"You're still beautiful despite the chocolate" Indra said. Niken pouted hearing it.
"We'll just go back. It's too hot" Dean said. Others finally agreed to end the beach event that afternoon.
They're getting better soon. All the food, Cloudy and Horse Jane were also put into storage. The women and Indra also disappeared.
Sunil helped lead Sulaiman to walk faster towards his house. The others immediately rushed towards Leon's house.
